When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I met the founder of this organization and I found him very enthusiastic, inspirational. He also has a big heart which moves me and makes me want to help him with his work. He and his volunteers have done a lot of work to help children with disadvantages in Vietnam, and other countries. His charity activities are well-implemented and objective. I am honored to work with him.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Every year since 2009, the Khmer Village Program has been able to provide new clothing, shoes, and/or toys to children residing in Chamkar Chek, an impoverished village in coastal Cambodia, thanks to Kids Without Borders. KWOB also facilitated a Rotary Club grant for KVP to install a deep well with hand pump in 2012.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Such an inspirational organization! Run by volunteers, KWB has worked with children and their families all over the world. I feel so fortunate to have experienced this firsthand with KWB programs in both India and Vietnam.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I recently returned from Viet Nam with Kids Without Borders, 9-24-13. Son Michael Pham President of KWB was the guide extraordinaire! VIsited 6 orphanages from Hanoi, Haiphong to Ho Chin Ming City. This trip was most effective in providing direct personal contact with administrators, staff and the kids. A key highlight was witnessing direct involvement with the kids by local University students (Haiphong) and teaches and students of a private school (9Ho Chin Ming City). KWB is well connected and well known throughout Viet Nam. KWB is an outstanding example of an NGO.
I will be returning in '14. 5 stars + is my rating. A transformative experience for me.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I've traveled with Son Michael Pham to Vietnam in the past, and have seen firsthand the work he does there. No one in the organization is paid; it is 100% volunteer. The programs in Vietnam have helped many orphans prepare for a life outside the orphanages, and many have entered universities for further education. It's a great organization.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I participated in a humanitour to Vietnam with Kids Without Borders. We visited both Peace Villages and orphanages in the north and the south of Vietnam. In he north, we visited an orphanage in Ba Vi, North of Hanoi and an orphanage in Hai Phong, south of Hanoi on the coast. In addition we visited the Thanh Xuan Peace Village in Hanoi. At all the visits we were accompanied by volunteer students from Universities in the Hanoi. In the south we visited an orphanage and a Peace Village in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). My over whelming feeling, in addition to seeing how many kids need help as a result of Agent orange, was just how many lives are being positively affected by an organization of all volunteers. It's just hard to fathom. My personal experience of holding kids and talking to kids as well as delivering medical and dental supplies has made a simple trip turn into a positive life changing experienced or me.
Kids Without Borders has helped,and is helping thousands of Kids and with future commitments will continue to do so. Kids who have the deck stacked against them in a culture where family is important have been and continue to be given a helping hand to have a better life. Kids with medical problems have been given a new lease on life because of Kids Without Borders so I will continue to volunteer and donate to this wonderful organization.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I have been with Son Michael Pham, the founder of Kids Without Borders, twice to Vietnam and have seen first-hand the quality of work that Kids Without Borders is doing. Son Michael has a true passion for the organization's mission. And Kids Without Borders is making a really positive difference in the lives of many young people.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

For newly arrived refugees in Seattle area, Kids without Borders is proactively supporting with warm clothes as well as get the refugee kids to be involved with actual sorting and organizing for future arrivals. Treating clients with dignity and respect as well as concept of pay-it-forward is very much appreciated.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Kids Without Borders builds bridges for greater understanding. On my trip to Vietnam through KWB, I found new friends in organizations that make a difference in the lives of children--children who are without parents or may be disabled from the effects of Agent Orange, or who are highly talented and need help to take the necessary steps towards opportunities. Vietnam is a country I once feared; KWB was able to break down such perceptions through its person-to-person connections.
